So we'll pick up with getting the turbo manifold piping installed, 'this is no attempt to brand bash' however we have to be honest, this was suppose to be a turbonectics kit, however for some reason absolutely nothing fit. everything was modified, I'm not saying that if you order a turbonectics kit it won't fit just our luck.
Had all types of problems with the y-pipe not fitting, most of the problem was in the u-pipe being off: this is how much we modified it.
The up-pipe was off aswell, again you can see the modifcation.
Making of the custom crossover pipe:
Finished Custom made cross over pipe:
Everything all done & heat wrapped:
Up-pipe with wastegate:
Extra up-pipe brace added:
Up-pipe installed w/heat wrapped and finally fitting, new a/c line also installed pictured here:
Getting all the lines, fittings etc. together:
Turbo mounted, fittings/lines made & installed:
While all of this was going on, we decided to surprise the customer and give it a Hybrid touch, by painting his intercooler piping pearl white to match the vehicle:
(paint, base coat white, black hybrid motorsports decal, pearl clearcoat seal)
Maf bung welded in, not bolted like turbonetics ic piping kit, this was done to aid in eliminating possible leaks:
The piping is a very tight fit due to large size, so our blow off valve was left homeless in it's normal ic piping position & the fact that it was paint wanted to keep a clean look, So:
now that we have our turbo in place we did turbo-to-intercooler piping short & efficient (also 3")
